Description

The most difficult part of learning a language is the beginning. Even more complicated - if we learn the language remotely. In order to help teachers and new language learners in the study process, teaching materials (slide shows) have been prepared for the first 20 lessons for the A 1 language proficiency level.
20 themes:
- I am
- Family
- Getting introduced
- I'm at school
- Countries and languages
- We work
- Numbers
- Clock
- Week
- Today, yesterday, tomorrow
- Months
- Shopping
- Activities
- Colours
- Fruit and food
- Seasons and time (weather)
- House, my house
- Kitchen
- In the City
- In nature
